This €63 River Island dress is the wedding guest look of the summer
Now is the ideal time to start shopping for occasionwear, and one of the best places to look is River Island. Known for its on-trend, catwalk-inspired styles at wallet-friendly prices, the fashion favourite has just dropped a dress that's quickly becoming the must-have look for summer weddings.
The Green Bandage Sleeveless Bardot Midi Dress - a sophisticated showstopper that looks far more luxurious than its price tag - is available for €63 in regular and €67 in petite.
The dress features a sleek asymmetric Bardot neckline, a figure-hugging sleeveless design and a flattering midi length - ideal for making a statement at any special occasion.
Already sold out in several sizes, the dress has gone viral thanks to multiple features on River Island's social media channels, where it's been modelled by influencer Meagan Wells, who boasts more than 563,000 followers on Instagram.
In one post, River Island declared: "The bandage dress is back, modelled by MEAGAN WELLS." In another, they asked fans: "We can't choose a fave. Which of @_meaganwells summer evening looks would you put in your suitcase?"
And judging by the comments, this green dress is the clear favourite. Followers flooded the posts with love for the look.
Many were instantly drawn to the striking green shade, calling it "such a gorgeous shade of green", "that's definitely my colour" and "Yeeesss! That colour." Several simply labelled it "gorgeous", "stunning" or "everything", while one fan gushed: "Wowww".
Others were quick to declare their need for the look, with comments like "Pleaseeee can you share the link for the dress? I need it!" and "Can you send a link to buy the green dress" appearing several times under River Island's posts.
The dress's popularity even prompted one person to comment: "My wardrobe is currently shaping up to be all your recommendations".
While most of the feedback has been glowing, one comment hinted at skepticism about the dress's fit, with a user asking: "Are you wearing shapewear underneath? I would love to know as you can't tell". Still, those who already own the dress had no such reservations, with one declaring: "I've got this dress - isn't it absolutely amazing?" and another adding: "@riverisland is totally doing it for us this season!"
Even those without an event lined up were tempted, with one commenter admitting: "Stunning - I just have zero occasion to wear it".
For more information or to buy, visit the River Island website here for the petite length or here for the regular length.
Alternatively, one of the most popular bandage dresses on Next Ireland's website is the Lipsy Pink Premium Bandage 3D Flower Midi Dress for €84. Next have also reduced the Lipsy Red Mesh Detail Corset Bandage Midi Dress from its original price of €78 to €34.
Meanwhile, Brown Thomas has the SOSANDAR Bandage Pencil Dress on sale - down from €120 to just €61.71.

‘A very cool moment for me' – Rachael Blackmore left emotional at last day of RDS Horse Show
Her connection to one of them traces all the way back to her teenage years LIFELONG LOVE 'A very cool moment for me' – Rachael Blackmore left emotional at last day of RDS Horse Show RACHAEL Blackmore had a "very cool moment" at the RDS Horse Show as two star runners from her past said hello to one another. Among Blackmore's most celebrated wins was the 2022 Cheltenham Gold Cup which came onboard A Plus Tard. Advertisement 2 Blackmore hung up her stirrups in May Credit: @blackmorerachael 2 The Tipperary woman shared footage of her winning onboard Tommy when she was only 15 Credit: @blackmorerachael And while not quite as big time of an outing, she's clearly also still got a special place in her heart for Tommy - whom she rode to victory in a 2004 pony race. Sharing a pic of them together, she reflected: "Very cool moment for me at the RDS yesterday. "A Plus Tard, winner of the Cheltenham Gold Cup 2022, says hi to Tommy, Clashmealcon 13.2h Pony Race winner 2004." The heartwarming Instagram post was a welcome sight to her 63k followers. One fan labelled it: "The best rendezvous ever!" Advertisement Meanwhile Rae gushed: "So cute!!!!" Lastly, Shannie noted: "Wow, Tommy has aged well." Blackmore, 36, is still adjusting to her jockey career being over having only retired in May. But she has sounded content with her decision in interviews since then as she's noted how she's gotten to treat herself far more this summer than in previous years. Clearly her schedule is far more flexible than it was over her years of relentless riding bookings throughout the arduous racing calendar. Advertisement The most evident example of that is that she was not even in Ballybrit while the Galway Races were on. Instead, she popped up in Goodwood where she acquiesced to ITV's request for an impromptu interview. 'End of an era for Irish racing' - Patrick Mullins on Thurles closure and future hopes for re-opening at Galway races In it, she underlined: "Retirement's going well. I'm enjoying it so far and I'm doing a lot of things I probably haven't been able to do for the last few years. "This week is definitely very different as I'm not heading to Ballybrit. The Oasis tickets have been purchased and I'm seeing them next month. Advertisement "I'm doing all those things you have to say no to as a jockey, like all those invites to friends' barbecues and other things. There's pluses to retirement too." The chat then took a more reflective tone as she was quizzed on whether she's now at the stage in her life that her place in the history books has fully sank in. MAGIC MOMENTS She acknowledged: "It's incredible to look now at everything and really take it all in. "There's so many moments that were such joy and elation. Having my first winner on A Plus Tard at Cheltenham was just phenomenal. Advertisement "Henry De Bromhead put lots of faith in me and it was a good job I delivered because he was a Gold Cup winner in waiting. "Honeysuckle's last win (in the Mares' Hurdle) was sensational. It was something I'll never, ever forget. It was phenomenal. "The moment of crossing the line in the Grand National I felt I could burst with joy too. There were so many moments and I was so lucky." The discussion then jumped ahead to her future plans with the Tipperary native yet to make any definitive public utterances about what she plans to do next. Advertisement She added: "It was a difficult decision (to retire), but I wanted it to be a hard decision. I thought after Cork that if my aim wasn't to get back to Cheltenham, then maybe it was time to stop. "When I was riding I never wanted to spend any time thinking about what I wanted to do when I finished. I'll do that over the summer and figure it out."

Roy Keane shows true colours as he enjoys relaxing birthday surrounded by family
For many years, Roy Keane was seen as the hot-headed hardman at the heart of the Manchester United midfield, the driving force behind Alex Ferguson's legendary teams. And while his punditry can still often be fiery, it's fair to say that the Corkman has shown a different side to his character in recent times. Indeed, the former Ireland captain is seen more as a comedy figure than a fearful one these days, with his appearances on Sky Sports TV and the Stick to Football podcast showing a lighter shade to the seven time Premier League winner. Even something as trivial as an Instagram account would have seen farcical up until a few years ago, but Keane is a big fan of the social media platform and often posts pictures of his family for his 2.3 million followers. This weekend, Keane turned 54 and took to social media to show his followers how he enjoyed his big day. Captioning his post "Happy Birthday to me. All the gifts I need," Keane shared snaps of himself on holiday with his family. In the pictures, Keane can be seen relaxing on an inflatable float in a pool and playing with his grandchildren, even throwing one up into the air while in a pool at one point. While his demeanour may have changed in recent years, Keane can still be as sharp tongued as ever when appearing as a pundit on Sky Sports. He predominantly saves his harshest criticism for ex-club Manchester United, who drew the ire of the Irishman on many occasions last year as they finished 15th in the league and lost the Europa League final to Tottenham Hotspur. With a full pre-season in the bag, and a host of new signings, United boss Ruben Amorim will be hoping for a much easier ride this season, and will no doubt be hoping to stay in Keane's good books as the campaign progresses.
